"do you keep little keepsakes to remind you of moments in your life?
i found a box at the weekend from when i was at school and i keep cards etc"
Yes i do and it contains all sorts of bits and bobs that some would consider junk but to me they are reminders to my past and a memory i cherish  |

I only have 2 and they are full of my daughters first things, like first blanket and sleep suit. Their scans, hospital tags and even their umbilical cord clips |

Yes I do, I keep all sorts of important things. My mum also had a box with her cherished items so ive got those too. Ive kept my childrens hair, first shoes, scans, etc, and things of my mums after her death, her handbag with her stuff inside etc. Id be really upset if anything happened to these items  |

I've got nothing like this at all, but then again my family isn't the type you'd want anything to remember them by anyway |

I started a jar in the new year where we put bits of paper with notes on about nice things that happened. It's nearly full now. Think we'll read them over xmas and do it again next year. It's quite good to see just how many happy memories we have this year.  |

Yes I have a huge memory box, so much junk in there but... Actually if I ever go through it... The memories are so vivid!
Danny has one too unusual for a guy I think.. There's a couple of porno DVDs chucked his also  |

The only things I've kept are the cards I received on the birth of each of my sons, my wedding and my 40th birthday......everything else has been chucked.
Think I'm a bit heartless too lol  |

My mum still has a box of things from her childhood, it used to be a treat to look through it, and to be honest I still really like looking through it. I've not got one myself, I've kept birthday cards and stuff like that, important ones. |

They got put in the freezer and then used as the base of a trifle - no one knew they were eating my boobs! Did you get my message on your couple's account about next year!? |
